The Mis-Electrification of Southern California
We're building our first high-speed rail line here in California that will eventually connect San Francisco & Los Angeles, and travel at speeds up to 220 miles per hour. Unfortunately, the 520-mile long project's completion has been pushed back to 2033 due to unstable funding and numerous lawsuits since breaking ground in 2015.
In this episode of Imaginary Lines: Return to Form, Space, & Order we will explore why the planned 167-mile Phase II bullet train from LA to San Diego might have been a better proof of concept investment for California to begin construction on. We'll also explore what our options are for improving regional rail service in sprawling Southern California in the meantime.
